I'm a father, couldn't care less about fathers day, I know my children appreciate what we do for them because they say thanks. Don't need some over-commercialised, over-sentimentalised sales opportunity to know that. My dad feels the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ant68 21 #26 Posted June 5, 2021 I’d be happy to get stopped and asked for ID tbh 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Clearly not everyone reacts in the same way but then again not everyone is a functioning member of society with an ID with their picture and DOB on it.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I don't always carry ID, does that mean I'm not a 'functioning' member of society? If you mean a certain section of society, please elaborate. Might be an interesting conversation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The only people who surely have issue with presenting ID to buy alcohol are people who dont have any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I do, it was the 'functioning' bit that I was curious about. Not everyone is legal to drive, or has a passport. Which other forms of ID have a photo? I'm sure there are, i've just not heard of them.

Jim Hardie 523 #32 Posted June 5, 2021 When we went to the pictures as kids, if the film was an ‘A’ we didn’t go home - we asked someone to take us in. Maybe the answer is to use a bit of initiative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tell me what you want and I'll pick it up, pay for it and you can reimburse me when I give it to you. I visit Sheffield at least 5 days a week so I'm sure we can arrange something re meeting up and doing the swap👍 Edit. I'm not sure how I managed to quote you HeHasRisen. I'm pretty sure I just pressed reply 🤔 Edited June 5, 2021 by The_DADDY Fat fingers and stupidity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ant68 21 #36 Posted June 6, 2021 I may be wide of the mark here or be opening a new tin of worms, and this is certainly a genuine comment and not a ‘dig’ at anything / anyone. In a previous life I knocked on doors for charities (yes, some of you wont agree with that and will possibly have some ‘choice words’, but it is what it is) As part of the training we went through how to ensure that the person we were talking to was ‘fit’ mentally and understood what they had agreed to. This was usually the elderly, but I did come across a few people that were much younger, that were keen to sign up, but it would be clearly wrong for me to sign up. Maybe there was more than meets the eye going on when you were challenged? As I said earlier - no disrespect meant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
